How Do I Get My Ex Back? Dump the Desperation

Karen Cook
There's been a break-up. You're sick and miserable. It doesn't matter if you're young or of a more mature age. It hurts to the core of your twisted gut. Sometimes a break-up is the best thing to happen to a couple. Other times, it should not have happened. The relationship is worth saving. And it should be. This is for the one-half of the doomed couple who truly believes it is a big mistake. That both parties should give the union another chance. Because you know with every atom in your being that you and your ex must get back together. So if this is the case, you could be in for the fight of your life.

If you handle things properly, you can very well get your ex back. One of the most important things to remember is this: Do Not Come Off As Being Desperate! Yes, I know it's hard to help yourself. Your emotions are spilling all over the place. But trust this rule. Desperation is not pretty. In either a man or a woman. It frightens people away. It looks pathetic. In the extreme, you may find yourself being watched by ambulance attendants.

First, take the proverbial deep breath. At a time like this, your first thoughts should turn to yourself and your self-esteem. Because if you don't focus inward, you could end up wailing and showing your ex they were correct in ending the relationship. Besides which, many dumpers expect desperation from the dumpees. Be different. This will cause a positive reaction in your ex. Showing a rational and mature attitude can only accomplish great things.

This is the best time to work on yourself. If there is some quality about yourself that caused the break-up, focus on changing the behavior. Take quiet time to be by yourself. Talk to the walls if you have to but commune with yourself. This may be the first time in your life you've really gotten to know YOU! When you come up for air after calming your emotions, you'll be better able to deal with the task at hand. Getting your ex back. But you'll be going about it without signs of desperation. And whatever happens, you'll have your self-respect. Now that's attractive!
